I'm going to look at the car tomorrow, and I wanted to know if there was anything else I needed to know before I think about purchasing it? It says there MAY be odometer rollback but I don't know..
EDIT: Added some pics.

There's worse things then a swapped cluster i'm guessing you're new to Honda/Acura's ? happens ALLLLLL the time lol. compression test it take the oilcap off and see what it looks like on the inside. if it drives straight and feels good go for it these cars are SUPER easy to work on
you're looking at the rocker arms/internals if you see burnt sludge all over the inside of the VC(valve cover) walk away lol. pix of car ?
Would it be worth the money knowing about the swapped cluster? I may or may not have a mechanic with me is why, I'm not the best when it comes to checking out a car.

Don't worry about the cluster trust me lol! just about every Honda that's been played with has this. Like I said if it drives straight and runs good then it's up to you if you'd like it.
A 5 owner automatic, [with as mentioned, pimp my ride tail lights] Iwould not walk away, I would run away, in fact I would not even go and look at it unless it was dirt CHEAP. 94
Okay, so that turned out to be a bust. SO many things wrong..
I found another, here is the autocheck plus some pictures (I didn't want to make a new thread :p)

Asking for $2000, it has 175k miles. I've test driven it, the brakes feel kind of loose, and I didn't see any leaks when I checked but I'm going to have a mechanic check it out on Saturday. This look like a good deal, or should I walk away? (You can see the accident on the pictures, the fender or bumper (don't know which part it is) is loose.
